happy birthday Mark


Jeff and Keely's baby boy is here. He was born with a diaphragmatic hernia. So a lot of his vital organs (liver, small intestines, and part of his stomach) are up in his lungs. He was 7lbs. 8oz. and absolutely perfect on the outside, but so sick on the inside. A few hours after his birth we were told things didn't look good. He was given a blessing, and put on EC-MO which is the last thing they can do for him to try to get his lungs to function properly. they actually had to paralyze him so he would not exert any energy. for me that was the hardest to see him laying there so still and not be able to pick him up and hold him. no one knows at this point what will happen with this sweet baby, we all hope he stays here with us, but Heavenly Father may have other plans for him.
